Indulge me for a moment -- recall this conversation of a couple weeks ago:

Okay, we have two offers to HTML-ize raw material for the NetBSD web page.
Cool. But...
Is this only open to readers of the mailing lists, or can we leverage the
web page itself? If people send raw text to webmaster@netbsd.org, would it
be routed to Erik & Ken ??
I think we should have a "How to Contribute to NetBSD" page visible on the
front page of the web site. I am willing to provide a bunch of (optimistic)
raw material if there are others who are willing to help me hammer it into
something that will fly.
